Night Time Vehicle Detection Using Machine Learning

Syeda Aamina Khadri, Dr. S. Ramacharan

Abstract: Monitoring traffic using camera networks is crucial, especially at night when visibility decreases and accident risks rise. Existing methods often struggle with the erratic nature of vehicle lights in low - light conditions, where lights appear as flashes or complex patterns across disconnected image regions. This study introduces a real - time vehicle detection algorithm designed for night time scenarios, leveraging machine learning with a grid of foveal classifiers. These classifiers use a single global image descriptor to predict vehicle locations based on their positions within the grid and ground - truth data. By requiring only point - based annotations for training, the algorithm accelerates database creation. Experimental validation on a new nighttime dataset demonstrates the effectiveness of this approach in accurately detecting vehicles under challenging lighting conditions.
